Term 1 week 3

This week we will focus on another event in our calendar as we celebrate Chinese New Year. We also have a writing task to complete. This will give me great information for planning my next steps as it will show me the weaknesses and strengths for us to work for the rest of Term 1.

WALT 
Read for meaning and make connections with a text (Chinese New Year)
Listen and discuss qualities of the positive friendships we aspire to have
Plan before we write by sorting our ideas into categories

Learning Activities this week

Read about Chinese New Year and complete related tasks in your English book

Look at the writing rubric and the format of the writing assessment task booklet

View Focus on friendship links

Discuss qualities of a good friend with your table group

Sort qualities into categories to develop a mind map before we start writing

Use each category to plan a paragraph. This writing goes into the paper booklet that I will give you.

Next Steps: Look at the highlighted sections on your writing rubric. Read the feedback on your completed writing booklet next week.
